Lyrics

Too Big
©2024, Peter Goodman

I follow you down
To the hall where
You turn and say something that
Doesn’t make sense
We fall off the fence
And here we are again
In our old familiar pattern

The drive to Gilroy
Is uneventful
Arrive at Costco to a
Full parking lot
Where someone’s been shot
When did we get all these guns
and what for
My heart feels so heavy
I can’t take any more

It’s gotten to big for us now
So try to not break it
Cope and just fake it
Keeping it all real somehow
Don’t give up and overshare it
Grin and just bear it

My neighbors mourning
For his daughter
Killed by a driver
Who was texting a friend
No one will mend
But he’s alive while
His daughters in ashes

The order came to
Stay at home and
Everyone did -- amazing
They found a cure
But don’t be so sure
Some folks believe
It’s just an evil plan
How they think that way
I don’t understand

It’s gotten to big for us now
So try to not break it
Cope and just fake it
Keeping it all real somehow
Don’t give up and overshare it
Grin and just bear it
